inery hopping is a serious pastime in
South Australia, which is home to
stunning corduroy vineyards and cellar
doors selling stand-out offerings that
range from old-world varietals to new-age drops.
In this wine-lover's paradise there are six distinct
wine regions: Adelaide Hills, Barossa, Clare Valley,
Fleurieu Peninsula, Limestone Coast and Riverland
on the Murray. Each area has its own personality,
and its wines reflect the particular terroir and
the skill of individual winemakers, but all the
viticulturalists and winemakers here share one thing:
a passion for creating the best wines possible.
If you're planning a winery hop, here's the
lowdown on what's on offer and the highlights you
won't want to miss.
